Miss Nettie AlU-n, one of the teach ers at the Normal, came with the re mains being sent by the two societies of the college. Speaking for these and for students and teachers she said that Miss Abby was one of the b rightest and most popular iirls in the college, faithful and active in all her duties, beloved by all at the Normal and having a host of friends. Thus too was she regarded in Wilson, and the bereaved family can feel in the gloom of their darkened home that everywhere in this city negro r.izea as one ot tne hands empioyea in the brick vard of Mr. Silas Lucas at Medora, his name being Tom Lee.

These Blessings Taken from the Cemetery Almost a Sinful Practice. It was indeed a sorrowful sight to witness several parties plucking flow ers from the graves in the cemetery. To the casual observer who has neither relatives nor friends sleeping in that sacred place it may seem a trivial affair, but to those who have suffered a bereavement it is a gratify ing nleasure to -see blossoming flow- 0 1 ers on the final resting places of their loved ones. It is truly a blessing to see beautP ful flowers charmingly depicting the character of those who have departed this life, and to watch them fade, wither and die is only a comforting assurance that God's will has been done. - We would much rather note the fact f flowers being tatien to the cemetery than that of seeing them re moved lest the frosts of winter should cause them to drop their petals on the hallowed ground where sleep our loved and honored dead. compla; has been made that the waterwe-s cpmpany of Greensboro has not plied with the State law rpnnirinP-iir't-tprlv pirami nation of 1 - ovuui- the watery that it is supposed that someof throuble originated in the waterWprat the college.

The owner of the animal had driven it to Wilson Saturday, and after disposing of his product brought to market became so intoxicated that he was arrested. The officers told him the only way to escape being placed in the lockup would be toJeave town immediately, and without thinking of his team he left forthwith. He came to Wilson this morning and secured his ox and cart. City Must I'ay. Child Burned to a Crisp. On Saturday among the - other cases in the Superior court the case of E. F. Nadal against the Town o Wilson was tried. This was a suit brought to compel the city aldermen to pay for the vaccine points pur chased from Nadal's drug store by the physicians who vaccinated the people here under' the resolution of the City Council making vaccination compulsory during the smallpox : epidemic sometime ago.
